contraction, volume 
shrinkage of the clot, is driven by platelet 
contraction Contraction of blood clots is impaired in acute ischemic stroke-driven 
contraction (retraction), resulting in volume 
shrinkage. Clot 
contraction can potentially reduce vessel
 Improving the quality of materials for highway construction composition reduces chemical 
shrinkage and thereby increase its physical-mechanical characteristics.
